• Timing of your move: You will often pay more during peak moving season, especially in the summer months. Weekend moves and dates at the beginning or end of the month can also come with higher rates.
• Professional vs. DIY: DIY can save money upfront, but it puts the packing, lifting, and coordination on your shoulders. Hiring American Van Lines gives you more support and fewer headaches, since we handle the heavy lifting and logistics from start to finish.
• Exact distance: Distance is a major cost driver for long-distance moves. Even small differences in mileage can impact the quote you receive.
